The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.
For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

Happens all the time when I learn new words. Suddenly that word is everywhere and it never occurred to me that I didn’t know its meaning.
I will probably see Baader-Meinhof pop up all over the place in the coming days.
Haha. You’re welcome.
That’s happening with the word “nuance” with me
What was wrong with the old ance, that’s what I want to know.
Your aunts don’t like being called old.
To be fair, I think “nuance” is genuinely being used a lot more lately because there’s so much backlash against the black-and-white discourse that dominated the internet last decade.
As long as it’s properly used, but for me, that’s a discussion for a later date
